Dynamated >50%, CCF (closed cell foam) and MLV ( mass load vinyl, 1#/ sq ft) the whole interior except roof... van quieter, can hear the wind noise as noted by other forum members.
Added at least 125 lbs to the weight of the van, more thud to the panels and roof. Poorer gas mileage!!!
Was it worth 3.5 weeks of not having the van to drive....maybe...
I hear different muted sounds...road noise is lower dependent on road conditions, more solid feel, not the Luxury quiet feel of a Lexus.Need to drive the van more after install because the middle seats and console was not installed at this evaluation.
About one third into the install, I've read, most of the noise of the MZ5 can attenuated by quiet tires and coating and dampening the front wheel wells inside and out, plastic fender liners, firewall and foot wells.
My 2009 MZ5 GT has:
'10 MS3 18" Rims,
225/45-18 Nitto Motivo Tires,
MS3 Front Calipers w/ Centric High Carbon Front and Premium Rear Rotors.
Koni FSD Shocks,
MS3 Rear Sway Bar and new updated F/R Stock Sway Bar Bushings,Moog Links, SPC rear camber arms, stock MZ5 springs.
Auto exe rear exhaust.
Curt Hitch...ZOOM-ZOOM!
I plan to install a 4 channel amp (400 Watt) for my JL Audio speakers and thinking of installing a MS6 or MS3 Spare Tire Bose Bass unit, Any sugguestions?
I now intimately know my MZ5 inside and out, more than I care acknowledge....brother in-law said i should have bought a new quiet car after seeing the whole interior removed for this install.
Question: How do I Bold Face the Title Bar?
